Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 small red onion
- 1 zucchini
Sauce Ingredients:
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh cilantro or green onions
Instructions
- Mix ¼ cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons Sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon rice vinegar in a bowl. Whisk until your sauce looks smooth and well-combined.
- Soak 4-5 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Cut 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 small red onion, and 1 zucchini into 1-inch chunks for easy threading.
- Marinate chicken pieces in a blend of olive oil, lime juice, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill to 375-400°F, creating medium-high direct heat zones.
- Thread marinated chicken and vegetable chunks alternately onto prepared skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking.
- Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, rotating every 3-4 minutes to ensure consistent charring and cooking.
- Check chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer.
- Brush skewers with prepared bang bang sauce during the final minute of grilling.
- Remove skewers from grill and let rest 2-3 minutes to redistribute juices.
- Drizzle additional bang bang sauce over skewers and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions before serving.
Notes
- Wooden skewers need a water bath before grilling to prevent burning and ensure they don’t catch fire during cooking.
- Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes lets the flavors deeply penetrate the meat, creating a more delicious result.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce with tamari and double-check all sauce ingredients for gluten-free certification.
- The bang bang sauce can be adjusted by adding more Sriracha for heat or honey for sweetness, so taste and customize it to your preference.
